Is it any wonder that these parasites supported Clinton and continue to support the Democrat party almost exclusively? Is it any wonder that this was the career that came most naturally to Bill and Hillary?
Lawyers are only supposed to preserve the rights and legal protections that a client (host) has coming to him/her, not create a situation that obscures or bypasses their guilt. Helping a criminal, admitted or guilty by reason of evidence, makes you an accessory to the crime in my opinion.
It was a property jointly owned that was the problem. We finally managed to make a deal but I was forced to stop and settle. For a mere 13 grand he was willing to sue me and drag me to court for an adverse proceeding.
Funny thing is that the only remaining asset left of the debtor was the half equity in this house. Which basically was just enough to pay the court fees, the trustee fees, the lawyer fees, the accountant fees to settle the debtors estate..ect.
The creditors never got a cent.
So basically this TRUSTEE ( wrong name for these cretin lawyers) fought me for his paycheck.<p
And if every lawyer acts in that fashion, there's no way that "someone" could find a lawyer and exercise his Constitutional rights under Article 6. Therefore, charge dismissed.
I should clarify that: I mean that helping a criminal avoid the punishement they are due, particularly with regard to child molesters (pedophilia is currently incurable), should be considered criminal in itself. Obviously, acting as a client's counsel would not in itself be construed as "helping" per se, but actively and knowingly acting to help the client (host) avoid justice should be condemned.
Sorry, Dog, but, in most cases, they know, no matter what their client says. That's why there are so many pleadings.
O'Reilly's got a point: OJ Simpson is guilty as hell of two murders, and the scumbag Johnny Cochran used race to prejudice a jury. And Cochran KNEW he was guilty.
Criminal defense attorneys are quickly joining their brethren in the class-action category as the bottom-feeders of society.

Uh...the truth?
Pay attention, will you?
Your question was, "And your plan to protect the innocent?" Not "And your plan to protect the criminals who lie about being innocent?"
It's a choice. What would you do?
What would you do?
Approximately 90% of all defendants who appear in court are guilty of the crime for which they are accused. Every lawyer in America knows this.
From a purely theoretical standpoint, even a guilty person is entitled under our system to force the prosecution to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. If the prosecution can't do it, then the defendant is not guilty, regardless of the fact that he committed the crime.
Since that is the case, the accused is entitled to a vigorous defense, which includes attacking the credibility of prosecution witnesses. That's the way it is, and it's not completely fair to attack the lawyers who are doing the job they are hired to do.
There is one bit of consolation to all this. It is a big gamble for the guilty person to demand a trial. If he is found guilty, he will almost certainly get a much tougher sentence than if he had plea bargained.
Most ethical defense attorneys will advise their client of that fact, which is one reason that 99% of clients plead guilty without a trial.
